Abstract

Former terrorism convicts are a group of people who have been involved in criminal acts of terrorism, then tried, imprisoned until finally released. One of the risks after they are released is the belief in radical ideology that has been embedded since being in their network. As a result, ex-convicts become vulnerable to joining terrorist groups again, and even carrying out acts of terrorism again. Deradicalization efforts so that they do not return to terrorism are carried out by the National Sovereign Institution with a deradicalization program. Deradicalization is carried out using a literacy approach through the “Rumah Daulat Buku” (Rudalku) program. This research was conducted at the Daulat Bangsa Institute which is located in the Pasar Minggu sub-district, South Jakarta. This research uses a qualitative approach. The method used is descriptive-analytical, to describe a phenomenon to study the who, what, when and how aspects of a topic. The results of the research show that deradicalization efforts are carried out through Rumah Daulat Buku by means of face-to-face study and recitation through ta'lim or talaqi every month. The recitation was attended by ex-convicts who had founded Rudalku and also those who had not. Study using the Arabic book al-Waroqot about ushul fiqh, namely the philosophical discipline of Islamic law. This study uses references to Arabic books designed to indoctrinate moderate religious understanding (wasathiyah). In the study of Fiqh and ushul fiqh, everything is discussed including the meaning of jihad, about national fiqh, about how to think and interpret correctly. Ex-convict participants are also encouraged to express their views for open dialogue (munaqasah). With in-depth study and guidance from experts, without indoctrination, the study participants, namely the wider community and members of Rumah Daulat Buku, finally understand and realize that the actions they took in the past were wrong and now know what is right. This can be seen by a change in mindset, open understanding, the desire to become a religious, tolerant Muslim, to become rahmatan lil alamin by protecting the Indonesian nation and state.
